Hi everyone,
I've read through the threads listed in the FAQ pretty extensively concerning publishing your tarot deck, but I'm still left with a few questions. I am thinking more the self publishing route, where I take my deck to a printer and let them publish it So, with that said, I have a few questions:
1) Size of the cards in decks. Does it matter? Do bigger sized cards cost more to publish? Are these differences substantial? Originally I wanted to go with a 2.5 x 3.5" card, but I am rethinking that.
2) Are there general preferences for the size of cards? Should this factor in more than cost?
3) There seems to be a large variety of discussions on the costs of publishing, printers who might publish, etc. I'm not clear on ballpark figures even for printing at this time. Can anyone help clear this up with their own experiences?
4) Printers also seem to have been discussed in the past in the threads. Is there any new information about printers that anyone can share? Any new good printers (local or worldwide?)
5) If one were to sell one's deck online to recoup the costs of getting it professionally printed, are there better and worse ways to market and sell it? Any thoughts?
Sorry for the barrage of questions. I'm still in the process of painting my deck, but things are going along so smoothly that I would like to start thinking about these issues now so that I have decisions made when I am ready to move forward! .
Thanks!
